Howard Johnson's Restaurant Waco,TX - a photo on Flickriver

            Former Howard Johnson's Restaurant located at 2310 West Waco Dr. in Waco,TX.  The building is currently occupied by an independently owned Mexican restaurant operating under the name The Ranchito Grill.  Note this Howard Johnson's restaurant opened for business on November 28th 1956, however in early 1958 the location closed its doors.  The orange roofed building sat vacant until May 1962 when Howard Johnson's reopened after making a rare move by revamping the menu to offer more local fare.  By the late 1960's the restaurant had closed once again leaving the building to sit vacant until November 1970 when an independently owned eatery under the name Ira's Restaurant opened for business.  By the late 1970's Ira's was out of business and the building would sit vacant until the early 1990's.  It's rather remarkable that while this was an exceptionally short-lived HJ location, the orange roof tiles along with the base of the cupola have remained in place!
